Orienteering race (Metro 6) 59:40 [3] 8.0 km (7:28 / km) +180m 6:42 / km
ahr:153 max:168 (injured) shoes: New Balance MT411GB
Sprained ankle after 1 1/2 minutes about 20 meters from #1, it took about a minute to get to the control after that, had to walk for the next 200m then managed to jog again.
I knew at that point I had no chance at a decent time so tried to do as much as felt comfortable. very difficult terrain for running with a freshly sprained ankle, hilly tracks and open grassland with perhaps only about 20% of the course on terrain which I didn't feel I had to watch every step.
was able to do most the course after 3 at a reasonable speed. there were no more incidents and it only started to hurt after I stopped running, there is now a tennis ball hiding where my ankle should be.
Lachlan did his first string course, and I followed him and my wife on a Very easy course, unfortunately tantrums crept in after the finish when he dropped his yellow skittle :(
will probably have to tape for a month now .. but it should be ok.
